BlueRush Reports Fiscal 2020 First Quarter Financial Results

Strategic Disposition and Heightened Focus Reaffirms Positive Trajectory

TORONTO, Dec. 19, 2019/CNW/ - BlueRush Inc. ("BlueRush" or the "Company") (TSX-V: BTV), an emerging personalized video Software as a Service ("SaaS") company, today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended October 31, 2019 ("Q1 2020").

"Our first fiscal quarter of 2020 marked an important milestone in BlueRush's fifteen-year history with the successful sale of the DigitalReach^TM platform and Broadridge's Smart Advisor® application to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. for $2.3 million in cash," said Steve Taylor, CEO of BlueRush. "The sale further allows BlueRush to focus on our core IndiVideo product that is driving incredible results for an expanding list of financial institutions around the world."

"The strategic transaction to an industry leader like Broadridge illustrates the high-quality software solutions that BlueRush is consistently able to deliver to our clients. Having divested of these assets, our focus on the IndiVideo platform has only increased, specifically in the Customer Communication Management (CCM) industry. The CCM industry is on the cusp of a change that was last seen in the 1990s when the PDF began to replace the printed bill. As more CCM vendors integrate video into their customer engagement solutions, IndiVideo will be there as a technological leader in the interactive personalized video segment, ultimately delivering meaningful returns for our shareholders driven by recurring revenue."

"We are proud of the 35% increase in revenue over last year, driven primarily by IndiVideo sales. We have built upon the successes of fiscal 2019 and will continue to grow throughout the next three quarters and beyond," stated Mr. Taylor.
